𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐧 The night Dante Sinclair lured me into his dressing room and gave me my first kiss, I was oblivious to one important fact: all rock stars are spoiled narcissists. I learned my lesson when our failed attempt at a reunion left me humiliated and heartbroken. Now, Dante is booked into the music retreat I run. Years have passed, so I know he won’t recognise me. He’ll have no idea the man cooking his meals and washing his clothes is the same skinny boy he kissed so long ago. And when he begins to look at me like I’m his new favourite muse, my anonymity will be my only protection against the sensuality of his charms. 𝐃𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐞 𝐺𝑟𝑒𝑦. It’s the name I gave to the only boy I ever kissed. He is my favourite memory. The place my mind goes when the expectations of rock stardom threaten to choke me. I barely remember what he looked like, but I’ll never forget the way he made me feel. When I came to this retreat, my goals were simple: get out of my creative rut and write my new album. But one look into Sean’s eyes is enough to threaten the tenuous control I have over my life. He swears we’ve never met, but there’s a Grey-ness to him that inspires me, even as it makes me long to satisfy the cravings I’ve denied for so long. He may not be my Grey—but he’s close enough.

Review:

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars

If I want to be completely honest, I must say that I was bothered by Sean and Dante's relationship timeline. The kiss happened 8 years ago, the failed reunion happened 3 years later and 5 years after that the main story began. I didn't like the first couple of chapters that we like an extended prologue. I am not a huge fan of that kind of storytelling and I can't fault the author for writing that since most of the readers usually appreciate it. Another thing that bothered me is that Sean always seemed to be dating someone when he was meeting Dante after their first encounter and I am not a fan of that.

Dante is hiding in his closet for a very long time which is sad. He is in the closet for some part of the book too and that led to the two of them running circles around each other for a while. This is my first M/M book after an eon and I was really looking forward to it, but in the end, I can't say that I was satisfied. I feel like Sean could do better and find someone who would give him everything he deserves. In my opinion, Dante was a little late on starting doing that. I never doubted Sean's feelings and in Dante's case, I found myself asking if Dante knew Grey in a deep level. That's why I am giving 3-stars to the book. On the bright side, I had no trouble finishing the book and I enjoyed some parts of it. I hope that Gabrielle will be the heroine of the 2nd book and she will have the two men mentioned in this book. If that happens I will definitely read book 2.
